Primes

• Future Or Promise
  • In computer science it is the futures and promises of Java, JavaScript, C++, Scala, Python, and Rust; async/await across modern languages; and reactive streams.

    This sourceIntroduces promises as first-class placeholders for the results of asynchronous remote procedure calls in distributed systems, with call-streams composing sequences of such calls.
